Meditators use some practices, like keeping focus on breathing, to strengthen the ability to take control over what their minds are doing.While meditations have long experienced its benefits,science only recently discovered that the mental effort of meditation is good exercise for the brain. Meditation has much to do with cognition(认知),a term to describe the thought processes inside our heads(like focusing, making decisions, and remembering) that allow us to understand the world. Meditators are really good at using several cognitive abilities to stay focused.When they learn that their minds wander(走神),they quickly bring their attention back,which is like doing a mental push-up.All those mental push-ups end up strengthening their ability to change their thoughts based on what they are doing right now,like changing from doing math to reading when they go to different classes. Groups of brain areas that communicate are called brain networks, and the health of the brain depends on the ability of brain networks to communicate well. Science has shown that meditation can improve sustained attention,which is how well a person can keep their attention on something hard for a long time. Scientists can measure improvements in sustained attention by looking for increases in certain brain waves,using EEG(脑电图).It proves that meditation can make the brain areas involved(涉及)in attention communicate with each other more easily. Meditation can even change the way that meditators' brain networks communicate,by bringing new,helpful brain areas into the conversation or getting rid of a brain area that is too loud and distracting(使人分心的). These changes take a long time and a lot of work. People need to make meditation a habit and guidance from a teacher can be helpful. Yet, not everyone can afford a personal teacher.That's where technology steps in.Scientists have made apps that provide tips and help people meditate at their own levels.While some digital meditation apps have been carefully studied by scientists,some need to be tested.So,it is important to be careful at first about whether an app really works. 19. According to the passage, what is people's purpose when they meditate? A. To try to control their focus B. To focus on what goes around C. To make important decisions D. To develop the ability to communicate 20. Which word has the closest meaning to sustained? A. hard B. clever C. long-term D. healthy 21. What can we learn about the brain networks? A. They are made up of groups of brains. B. The more brain networks, the healthier we will be. C. They can be improved by using EGG. D. They will be changed after meditating. 22. Where can the following paragraph best go after? As a result,meditators get better at focusing their attention away from negative thoughts and feelings and put themselves into a good mood. A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 8A Unit 2 Exercise B 一、单项选择 ( )1. To find better job, Andy is thinking about learning second language.

Luckily, here are several suggestions for you to make homework easy. Make a homework plan Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule (进度表),especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school. Watch where you work A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But don't study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there. Take a break Most people's attention don't last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive (多产的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a15—minute break every hour is a good way for most people. Get help when you need it Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. However, this might not give you the results you want.Lots of' people understand something well but are not able to explain it. 1.Why can't you do homework on the comfortable bed? 2.How long can you take a rest after doing an hour of homework? 3.
